This directory contains the example tasks for the LIBSAMP interface.
Current examples include:
samp General SAMP commandline interface
snoop Print all messages available to a client application
send Send a message of a specific mtype to one or more apps
Example Programs
----------------
The interface distribution comes with a 'zztest.c' test application
meant to exercise various methods of the interface. This is a largely
undocumented unit test program intended only for development, users
should instead look at the programs in the 'examples' directory.
Current examples include:
snoop Print all messages available to a client application
send Send a message of a specific mtype to one or more apps
Examples:
1) Print out messages received by a client application:
% snoop print all available messages
% snoop -m image.load.fits print only the one mtype
% snoop -s topcat only message from 'TOPCAT'
2) Print the usage of the 'send' (or 'snoop') application:
% send -h
3) Broadcast a message to all clients subscribed to a mtype:
% send image.load.fits http://foo.edu/bar.fits testId testName
4) Send a message to a specific app (c4) using synchronous message pattern:
% send -r c4 -p sync client.env.get HOME
5) Send a client multiple messages from a single connection:
% cat msgs.txt
client.cmd.exec show noao
client.cmd.exec imstat dev$pix
client.cmd.exec imstat dev$pix[*,1:10]
client.cmd.exec imstat dev$pix[*,10:20]
client.cmd.exec imstat dev$pix[*,20:30]
% send -r iraf -f msgs.txt
The message text file must containt the mtype as the first value, the
remainder of the line are the arguments specific to that mtype.
Note that each of these examples assumes an already-running Hub. A
standalone hub is provided in the 'jsamp' directory included in the
distribution. To start a hub from the toplevel directory:
% java -jar jsamp/jsamp-1.3.jar hub
This should be done before trying the above example. Note that applications
such as Topcat or Aladin have a builtin Hub that can also be used.
